   About potential strangers

Our New Video filmed in Glasgow and fully directed by Ryan - the Blue Calf- thank you Mr Henry!

Less a band than an ‘entity’, as they put it, Potential Strangers is essentially a fluid, five musicians-strong vehicle for the tunes of Harris-born singer-songwriter Dòl Eoin, an affable young chap who’s found the – not altogether unlikely – common ground between American rebel folk and Gaelic traditional flourish. Echoes of Dylan are ever present in Eoin’s loose acoustic strumming and blasts of shrill harmonica. Filled out by a combination of cello, fiddle, bass guitar, percussion and vocal harmonies, not to mention his own striking Hebridean lilt, the likes of earthy working man’s ballad ‘Dirty Hands’, and ‘John Walker’s Grave’ – a surprisingly jaunty riff on the subject of hereditary alcoholism – take on an entirely additional quality, somewhere along the lines of a gutsier Seth Lakeman, or a Celtic Mark Olson. Admittedly, ‘Daytime TV Blues’ – Potential Strangers’ whimsical paean to low-grade afternoon channel filler – is a little wide of the mark, despite rightly questioning the purpose of Carol Smillie. All else Eoin and his band – sorry, ‘entity’ – have to offer, though, would suggest that they shouldn’t remain, um, strangers, much longer." Malcolm Jack, The List

Great to hear from you dude. I listened to the Midnight Cafe. Lovely lovely tune. You're a wee genius. I'm back in glasgow now. Bumped in to Kirsty on the the other day. Would love to restart our breakfast shinanigans soon. Hope you're doing really well. Give me a bell. I'm on my old number.
Lots of love Ben.

Hello folks ! I am really pleased to listen to your music ! Hearing people speaking with a scottish accent makes me remember of my Erasmus year spent in Glasgow :) If I understood well, my friend David who made me discover your music is one of yours?
Astronomically,

Hi to all my MySpace friends around the world! I don't usually use Myspace to promote my own beliefs, but I was recently asked to sign a very important online petition asking international bodies like the WTO and IMF to work to rid the world of child labour. There are so many children suffering in this world so that we can enjoy cheap luxuries and an easy life. There is not much we can do as individuals, but this we CAN do. It's easy...one click and you're there, one more click and you've made a difference! I spent the first half of my life in Hong Kong (I'm 13 now) and I've seen little kids in Southern China exploited and vulnerable. I always remember that but for an accident of birth, I could have been one of those children. I'm not asking you to run a marathon or anything...just move your mouse here: http://www.icftu.org/petition.asp?Name=childlabour - and do the right thing.
Thank you and have a great summer!
Aysha.
